Friendswood and 30 weeks

OK, no pictures, sorry! I made a trip to Friendswood this weekend for Mom and Dad's going away party. I flew down Saturday morning and spent the day with them. I was able to get some much overdue sewing done for the nursery, so that was nice. M&D graciously let me sleep in on Sunday. I think it's been at least 3 years since I've slept until 9:45! :) I headed to Emily and Thomas' house after lunch to help them get ready for the party. It was a huge success and I must say Thomas and Em did a great job hosting! I flew back Monday morning...went straight to work for about 3 hours and then off to my dr.'s appt. All is well in baby land. Bryce is right on target. My feet are starting to swell a little so Dr. Bakos said to rest a lot and stay out of the heat. I'll do my best. That's about all for now. I swear I'll put pictures of the nursery up soon. We've made major progress with just a little more finishing touches to do.

Our Weekend

Our weekend started off by a major leak in the ceiling of our garage. What a nightmare! Anyway, long story short there was some issues with the flashing and shingles on that section of the garage roof. The roofer did a temporary repair on Saturday afternoon and will come again this weekend (hopefully) to fix it for good.





Landon Waligura came to spend the day with us on Saturday while Nikki was helping Marcie and Alan move. The boys had such a wonderful time playing together. It does get a little confusing having two Landons in the house though :)



This weekend was one of accidents for Landon (Wood that is). First he fell up the stairs, bit his tongue, and blood was every where. I had no idea if he had bit it in half or not because he wouldn't open up his mouth and show me. He was screaming hysterically...not sure if that was because it was hurt so bad or because there was blood gushing out of his mouth. I had to call Jeff to come home from helping Marcie and Alan to get him to take a look. After bleeding for about 20 minutes it finally stopped. He does have a nice cut, but thankfully nothing that warranted going to the emergency room.

Then...on Sunday after church he was riding his scooter in the drive way and "cracked" (Landon's word for crashed) and took off about half of his elbow. Seriously though, it is a pretty nice strawberry. And of course, he would not let me come near it with a band-aid so I had to keep reminding him not to get blood on everything....oh the life of a Mom with boys.

Meet Bryce!

I was about to put this sonogram picture in a frame, but I figured I would post it first. This is from our 22 week sonogram. He looks good doesn't he? :) It's amazing how clear sonogram pictures are now...even better than when Landon was born. Anyway, we can't wait to see what he looks like in person in just a few months! It will be here before we know it.

One word....HOT!

Seems like Landon's the only one at our house wanting to brave this hot weather. I can't complain though...this has been a relatively cool summer for us and we're just now hitting the triple digits the past week or so. Anyway, I sound like a broken record around here "Shut the door!" I can't imagine what our AC bill will be like this month. Anyway, Landon played outside before lunch but I will probably keep him in this afternoon and he can help me clean! Oh...what fun!!

28 Weeks and Counting

I had an appt with my OB today. It went really well. I only gained 2 pounds in the last two weeks and am 4 pounds under where I was when I was pregnant with Landon. I'm trying my hardest not to pack it on this time around! The baby's heart rate was good as was my blood pressure - just trying to keep that near normal so I don't run the risk of having to go on bed rest again. The baby is growing about the same rate as Landon. The million dollar questions - Will Bryce be two weeks early too??? I can only hope! I have a prize for anyone who can tell me for sure!

This weekend was productive. We worked hard on the nursery. I did some painting and of course over did it...and Jeff did the rest of the painting and is working on putting up a chair rail. I'll take some picts when it's finished (at least the paining/chair rail part). Then I can start decorating! My goal is to have the nursery done by the beginning of September when all my college girlfriends come for the weekend. We do a rotation every year so it will be 4 years before they're back at mine! So, I better have most everything done around here for them to see :)

A little bit of normal...finally!

Thank goodness this week has been back to normal... We've actually been home this week! It's been great to get back on our normal routine. Of course, I'm still exhausted from by business trip to Detroit last week and trip to Houston over the weekend, but I'm slowly catching up. I guess I can expect to slow down now that I'm just about in to my third trimester - this weekend I'll be 28 weeks. (I think?!?) Landon must be worn out too and catching up because he's slept over 3 hours today for his nap which NEVER happens! Mommy thanks him for the break! Well, it's off to cleaning for me...we're having friends over for dinner tomorrow and being the type A that I am, I can't stand to have a dirty house!
